I said a new world. Not a new continent.

I won't fault anyone for wanting a new Pokemon or Bandana Dee or anything like that, there's nothing wrong with that. But as the characters I want most (aside from Crash, Geno, and possibly Heihachi) are never gonna happen, I get the most joy from Smash's DLC exposing me to a new world and a new series I can mini-obsess over for a month or two before returning to indifference on the franchise.

one (1) single pocket monster won’t impede the five other characters that’ll probably be wacky third parties.

im tellin ya they’re gonna do what they did in the first pass. Five ridiculous hype third parties, and a Pokémon at the end.

I know. I know. It's just...... couldn't it be some new first party franchise not already on the roster instead? Rhythm Heaven, Mach Rider, Famicom Detective Club, Wonderful 101, Eternal Darkness, something! There's still so much new they can do.

But hey, If a new Pokemon is added to the roster, then I'll be happy for you and anyone else who is hyped. Genuinely. I'm just.... fragile.... right now.

Looks like Doom is already off the tabel. Unless they're lying but I don't know why they would do that. Dang it, one of my predictions is wrong and we haven't even gotten any reveals yet. I guess I change it to Master Chief.....

I don't know why but I just suddenly feel super demotivated and sad. Like, I just crashed.

And they could do all that, while also adding a Pokémon. It’s not mutually exclusive.

I dunk on you a lot, because you honestly bring it on yourself if I’m being completely honest. But if you’ll allow me to be genuine for a moment.

You should really try and stop latching onto video games like this. Enjoy them, obviously. But if a game announcement you find uninteresting could cause you significant mental distress, well that’s not very healthy.

Real talk, would Rillaboom work? They always have their huge drums in front of them, I wonder how Sakurai would work that in.

I feel like people wouldn't try to find a solution for how awkward Rillaboom would be if it wasn't for those bloody "we need a grass starter" and "Baboom win" memes.

I know. I'm trying to find ways to not... have that happen. I'm raising plants, I'm trying to get out there and socialize. I'm talking to a therapist. I just.... need time. It's hard to undo 21 years of malformed social skills and anxiety.

Is it really that odd?

It carries around the drum with it already as is. Could legit see it as like a sorta Fire Hydrant/Tree scenario where you can put it down on a spot on the stage and then that's 'your' zone. If your opponent wants to challenge you, they have to respect the drum.

I'm probably letting my belief that there are bigger omissions when it comes to Smash's Pokemon selection than some blatant quota character cloud my judgment TBH.

I mean we know for a fact that Greninja and Incineroar were reserved spots, they weren't even picked out to begin with, they were just placeholder spots of "Gen 6/7 Pokemon".


I'm not saying Gen 8 has to happen, but this is the first gen in awhile where all 3 starters feel likely tbh.

Look at this glorious Joker gameplay!


I'm officially sold. I was disappointed at first of Joker getting in over Pennywise (Which is understandable anyways given Warner Bros. already owns the rights to both DC and Mortal Kombat and they only distribute IT) but after seeing gameplay of him. He looks really fun to play! Never knew how perfect Joker fit into Mortal Kombat! :grin:

Could also be because I'm still fond of the 2019 movie too which truly caught the character in spirit.

While it does seem to hurt his chances, developer interviews have been a mixed bag in terms of giving us accurate information about what third party characters are getting in. On one hand, they gave us direct statements that (as far as major figures behind the games knew) Snake wasn't returning to Smash 4, and Nintendo never approached Capcom about adding Mega Man to Brawl. On the other hand...

So anyone think an Nintendo Direct will be announced Tuesday or sometime in February?

February for sure. Probably around the second week.

It’d make sense to have a character already announced once the second pass is available, as a sort of “Not convinced? How’s this!” Reveal to get people buying passes. But I guess they’re alright with people not buying the second pass for a couple weeks :drshrug:

Alright that'd be an exciting week then. Next character reveal along with seeing the Sonic movie!
